    <title language="eng">Innovative nanocomposite coatings for radiation shielding on satellites</title>
    <abstract language="eng">The current trend in development of low-cost satellites is based on small dimensions combined with advanced electronics. Traditionally, radiation-sensitive electronics on satellites are protected by tungsten or lead foils, which are high-density materials and contribute significantly to the overall mass of the satellite. Here, we design and investigate temperature-gradient-resistant lightweight silane-based composites containing micro- or nano-particles of W or WO3, taking inspiration from similar approaches in the medical field. While the polymeric matrix provides flexibility under thermal gradients (such as those occurring in satellites during their orbits) and low density, the particles enable shielding from soft X-rays and other radiation. For reference, thin tungsten films were deposited by magnetron sputtering. The properties of the two kinds of coatings were compared and the X-ray protective properties were investigated using both a custom-designed measurement setup and conventional X-ray absorption. The best performing radiation-protective coatings will be launched in a payload experiment on the INFANTE satellite.</abstract>
